When my daughter was 7 she came to me with a very serious look on her face. Mama, she said, I know there is no Santa and I know about the Easter Bunny- but there is a tooth fairy, isn't there?

I didn't know how to handle it but I had never lied directly to her so after a moment, I said, Well, what do you think?

Mournfully, she said, Oh, No...
